Musa M. Musa is a Professor in the Chemistry Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Yarmouk University (1993–1997), and his Master’s degree in Applied Chemistry from Jordan University of Science and Technology (1997–2000). He then completed his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Georgia (2003–2007), where his research concentrated on the synthesis of optically active alcohols utilizing alcohol dehydrogenases. Following this, Musa M. Musa spent his postdoctoral years at the University of Minnesota, focusing on the synthesis and evaluation of bisubstrate inhibitors for protein farnesyltransferase. Currently, his lab's research focuses on the biocatalytic synthesis of enantiopure alcohols through asymmetric reduction or deracemization methods.
